Mansfield Park

Jane Austen · 1814 CE · Novel · English · Romantic

Sent at ten from a crowded Portsmouth house to be raised among rich cousins in a great country seat, a poor relation grows up quiet, overlooked, and attached to the one cousin who is kind to her. While the master is away on business in Antigua, a brother and sister from London arrive, get up amateur theatricals, and unsettle every attachment in the house. Austen's most severe book, and the one that puts a slave-worked estate at the edge of the drawing room.
